Police have determined the criteria for issuing an alert has been met, saying there are “imminent concerns for the well-being of a three-month-old child.”

“Police are searching the area around the location and additional resources have been called in,” the alert says. A spokesperson for the detachment told CTV News officers are scouring the area, assisted by search and rescue crews on the ground and supported by a RCMP helicopter from the air.

Anyone who sees either of them is urged to call 911 immediately.
